Reviews of weather events, natural disasters, astronomical phenomena and wildlife around the world
Heavy rainfall, “possibly a one-in-a-thousand-year event,“ has hit western Connecticut, causing flooding, power outages, and road closures, the Washington Post reports.
“Significant parts of western Connecticut have been hit by heavy rainfall, causing flooding. Meteorologists say the rainfall in some towns could be considered a one-in-a-thousand-year event.“
Meteorologist Jacob Feuerstein reported on the social networking site X that Shelton, Connecticut, saw similar amounts of rain. Meteorologist Craig Cece wrote on his X page that western Connecticut saw between 100 and 150 mm (4 and 6 inches) of rain in three hours. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, this is a one-in-a-thousand-year event.
As reported by WTNH, two people were washed away by the floodwaters, and rescuers are searching for them. Southbury authorities reported on Facebook about 800 power outages, 15 road closures, and the Pomperoug River exceeding its level by one meter.
A state of emergency has been declared in New Haven and Fairfield Counties, Connecticut, due to flash flooding. “The Office of Emergency Management reports ongoing water rescues, several landslides, multiple washed-out roads and bridges, and overflowing rivers in Fairfield and New Haven Counties. In addition, emergency management personnel are assessing the integrity of several levees in the area,“ the weather service noted. Flooding has also affected the cities of Oxford, Seymour, and Cheshire.
It is also reported that about a million people are at risk of flooding in New York State. More than 700 flights have been canceled in the region. Railroad tracks between Philadelphia and New York City are also flooded, causing delays in train arrivals and departures.
